I would request that you would add or allow us to create rules based on subtasks. For example in a project flow - I have a task that contains multiple sub-tasks. This task is connected to my editorial calendar and the due date on the task is based on when it will post, but I would like to create …

That makes lots of sense, got it, thanks!

But couldn’t you add the ability for some rules with subtasks? Like add to a project on creation or new comment?

Hi @Chris_Labatt-Simon , it’s currently not possible due to technical constraints, but definitely something we’re keeping in mind for future improvements!

So having a rule that would update that status every time a sub-task is completed would be so helpful as we ar…

I don’t understand why subtasks would be designed NOT to inherit attributes of their parent task. What is the point of a sub task then? In our case we are a design and fabrication firm that has to track a lot of projects utilizing a variety of in house resources and sub contractors. Our 100+ client…
